Eesti People to People

The Global Education Week is part of iLEGEND III: Intercultural Learning Exchange through Global Education, Networking and Dialogue, Joint programme of the European Union and the Council of Europe: co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe. The campaign is implemented in participating countries by the Global Education Network.

It is an international awareness raising initiative unfolding during the third week of November. It is a call to rethink our world together, using Global Education as a tool for solidarity and change and contribute to a more and sustainable and equitable world. In preparation and during the Week solutions are shared to rethink our habits and ways of living, spending, and consuming but also finding new ways of education and socialisation.

Global Education helps learners to develop individual and collective responses to social, ecological, political, economic, and ethical issues of common concern. It mobilises commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in particular SDG 4.7: Education for sustainable development and global citizenship.

The North-South Centre’s work for the development of global education started in 1991 with pioneer regional multistakeholder seminars on the issue. They led to the drafting of the Global Education Charter in 1997, which became its reference background document, later consolidated by the recommendations from European global education multistakeholder congresses and regional seminars, as well as a capacity building scheme for formal and non-formal educators.

NGOs, schools, universities, state institutions, local and regional initiatives in Estonia, are invited to organise events and to particularly involve children and teenagers. You can either arrange your own project or participate in the activities from other organisers in the framework of the GEW.
